Day of Rest.......sort of

Today was the crossfit day off. Instead, I decided to try the Jackie routine with my friend Seth. What a wonderful day of rest it turned out to be....something tells me I'd have more fun stabbing my cornea out with a sars infected q-tip. Allow me to introduce you to Jackie:

1000m row
50 thrusters with 45lb bar
30 pull ups

Jackie times you too...and in this scenario the faster you get done the better. The row wasn't bad...i believe just under 4 minutes. The thrusters killed...its more or less a front squat then "thrusting" upwards into an overhead shoulder barbell press. I could only do 10 at a time...which is fine...but it eats up time. I think if i can get through the row and at the thursters quickly I can beat my time as the pull ups are what annihilate me. Now granted, today was supposed to be a resting day and I also had done pull ups the last 2/3 days; plus maxed out on barbell shoulder press; so I wasn't really expecting to do super on the pull ups. I couldn't do 1 without having to go to the machine that defies Newton's law of Gravity. That also killed me...trying to decide if I should keep attempting pull ups free....fortunately Seth did remind me about that gravitron thing...cause I was spaced out.

Total time: 15: 10

Timing Seth was a lot easier than actually doing the excercise.

Seth's time: 13: 31

My hearing starting going for a bit...felt like I was getting fluid build up....it's better now.
